Remembrance Sunday: When is it and how is it being observed across the country?

Toby Melville/AP

Remembrance Sunday is held on the second Sunday of November every year to honour Britain’s war dead.

In 2023, it follows neatly one day after Armistice Day on Saturday 11 November, which specifically honours the signing of the ceasefire agreement that brought the First World War to an end at 11am on 11 November 1918, a prelude to the peace negotiations that would finally be completed with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles the following June.
